Seth MacFarlane's
Ted is released in UK cinemas today (August 1), and sees Mark Wahlberg star as a man who has what some might call an unhealthily codependent relationship with his teddy bear.
The foul-mouthed, thoroughly non-child-friendly Ted got us thinking about other iconic movie sidekicks, from inanimate (Tom Hanks's beloved volleyball Wilson in
Cast Away) to animal (
Shrek's Donkey and
The Artist's now infamous pooch) to human.
Take a look through
Digital Spy's list of 20 great big-screen sidekicks in the gallery below, and let us know who you'd put in your own list.
